The only NASCAR Cup Series driver with a “Trump 2020” paint scheme will continue to use Goodyear tires despite President Trump’s call for a boycott of the Ohio-based tire company.
Driver Corey LaJoie has run a “Trump 2020” car at multiple races this season as part of a sponsorship deal between his team, Go Fas Racing, and Patriots of America, a political action committee supporting Trump’s re-election bid. Goodyear’s status as NASCAR official tire supplier has left Go Fas Racing with no choice but to use its product – and display Goodyear’s logo – alongside the Trump 2020 decal.
“We just have one way to run them,” Go Fas Racing general manager Mason St. Hilaire said in an interview with FOX Business. “It’s either those tires or no tires. We don’t have much of a choice. There should be two. I don’t know if you should just have one. You’ve got to keep something for the competition, right? Putting another one in would probably be a little bit of fun, both for cost and competition.”
LaJoie and the Go Fas Racing team are next scheduled to race the "Trump 2020" No. 32 car in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Aug. 29.
